I am not a musician, but damn, do I love music!

Working in radio is my dream job, All.Music.All.The.Time.99.9 WWCT is all about music discovery and all about our community, which made our partnership with Peoria Music Live a no-brainer. Together, we aim to bring you great music you already know you love, AND intro you to music we are sure you will soon love.

A huge number of live music fans from Peoria and beyond came out to the Blues and Heritage Fest this year. This was the crowd for Billy Strings! Sept 1, 2018

It’s hard to believe a little over a year ago I knew nothing about live local music or Peoria’s music scene! How did I learn so much in the last year? Listening… to musicians, to venue owners, to venue staff, to bookers and managers and promoters… but mostly it was listening to the fans!

Now, you can support live local music by sharing your thoughts, opinions, and stories with others!

Dexter O'Neal's 50th Birthday Party was the first indoor show I attended for Peoria Music Live and the first time I ever walked into Kenny's Westside Pub. 9/16/17

Over 230 different bands have been mentioned in the posts of Peoria Music Live over the last year that Peoria Music Live has been in existence… we want to make sure we haven’t missed any. Check out the list and leave a comment if you don’t see someone who should be on here!

All four bands took to the stage at the end of the night to sing "Weight." You can find the video on our YouTube page.

The soft open of the new Monarch Music Hall was fantastically put together. The taping of State & Water included several amazing artists and raised money for public broadcasting, all while putting together one of the most entertaining nights of music you'll find in the area.

A live performance is the most authentic way to experience music. Nothing is produced, mixed, or perfected. Tunes are not played to a studio or a collection of producers slash engineers slash music biz folk. The songs are played for (and with) the audience. Live music is alive. Everything you see and hear is real.
